Black sea urchins evaluate predation risk using chemical signals from a predator and injured con- and heterospecific prey
(Inter-research, 2011-01-01)
The traits related to foraging and eating are crucial to our understanding of food webs. The use of signals to detect predators has strong relevance for prey survival. The black sea urchin Echinometra lucunter cohabits ...

Multiple stable states in a model based on predator-induced defenses
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. A large variety of antipredator defenses are exhibited by plants, animals and microbes in nature. A deep understanding of the dynamic consequences of prey responses to predation risk is essential for ...
Combined effects of predator odor and alarm substance on behavioral and physiological responses of the pearl cichlid
(2019-07-01)
Several fish species trigger defensive behavioral responses when exposed to chemical cues that indicate predation risk. In these situations, physiological adjustments are also necessary to prepare the organism for a defensive ...
Phenotypic variability in byssus thread production of intertidal mussels induced by predators with different feeding strategies
(INTER-RESEARCH, 2008)
Predator-induced defenses have a significant influence on the expression of morphological and behavioral traits of marine species. In mussels, common responses to predators include thickening of the shell, enlargement of ...
Chemical defense in harvestmen (Arachnida, Opiliones): Do benzoquinone secretions deter invertebrate and vertebrate predators?
(Springer, 2005-11)
Two alkylated 1,4-benzoquinones were identified from the defensive secretion produced by the neotropical harvestman Goniosoma longipes (Gonyleptidae). They were characterized as 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone and ...
Interpopulation Comparisons of Antipredator Defense Behavior of the Thorn-Tailed Rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda)
(Wiley, 2013-12)
The high impact of predators on breeding success has favored the evolution of diverse behavioral strategies that enhance both individual survivorship and reproductive success. Self- and nest-defense against predators are ...
Are you experienced? Predator type and predator experience trade-offs in relation to tadpole mortality rates
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-06-01)
Cryptic behavior and unpalatability are common defensive strategies that occur in different taxonomic groups, but the effectiveness of these defensive strategies is context dependent, varying with predator type and ...
